Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the Marinade: Whisk together the low-sodium teriyaki sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, minced garlic, fresh ginger, and toasted sesame oil until smooth.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken in a zip-top bag, pour in the marinade, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is ideal).
Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 6–7 minutes each side until fully cooked.
Grill Pineapple: Place fresh pineapple rings on the grill. Cook for 2–3 minutes each side until tender and caramelized.
Make the Glaze: Boil the reserved marinade in a saucepan for 5–6 minutes until thickened.
Assemble the Stack: Serve the grilled chicken over rice, topped with grilled pineapple, drizzled with glaze, and garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
